The impact of experimentally aroused implicit power motive on effort
What if hidden motivations are influencing how hard you work without you even realising it?
We are recruiting participants for an exciting psychology study exploring how unconscious motivations shape the effort we put into tasks. Using non-invasive measures of cardiovascular activity, we'll investigate the fascinating connection between the mind, body, and motivation.
Take part and help us uncover the hidden forces that drive human behaviour.
Who can take part in this study
- You must be 18 years or above.
- Do not sign up if you have a pacemaker.
What the study will involve
If you to decide to participate in our study, we will measure your cardiovascular activity using a blood pressure cuff and impedance cardiography. You will then watch one of two film clips, – ‘The Negotiator’ or ‘Kingdom of Plants’ and be asked to complete the Stenberg Memory task and dominance game.
Full instructions will be provided at every stage of the experiment.
